09/0758-CE - Erection of a stable block with associated parking and turning area and change of use of land to mixed-use Agricultural/Equestrian - Land At Littleheath Lane, Lickey End, Bromsgrove - Miss A. Baldrey Minutes: The Head of Planning and Environment Services reported the receipt of additional correspondence in support of the proposal, and clarified details relating to land levels and other stable developments in the locality of the application site.
At the invitation of the Chairman, Miss A. Baldrey addressed the Committee and spoke in support of her application. Councillor Mrs. M. Bunker also addressed the Committee, as Ward Member for the area in which the application site was located, in support of the proposals.
Consideration was then given to the application which had been recommended for refusal by the Head of Planning and Environment Services. On the matter being put to the vote, Members considered that the stable building would not be located in an isolated position and had been designed to integrate with the existing planting and landform. As a result, Members felt that the development would not harm the appearance and character of the landscape or the visual amenities of the landscape in this location.
RESOLVED that permission be granted subject to any reasonable conditions and notes considered necessary by the Head of Planning and Environment Services. |

Hosking Minutes: The Head of Planning and Environment Services clarified the legal implications which would arise if the Committee were to approve both application ref. 09/0713-CE and application ref. 09/0714-CE.
At the invitation of the Chairman, Mrs. A. Wilkie addressed the Committee and spoke in opposition to the proposals relating to both applications whilst Mr. M. Worrall and Mr. N. Hosking spoke in favour. Councillor R. Hollingworth also addressed the Committee, as Ward Member for the area in which the application site was located, in support of the proposals.
RESOLVED that permission be refused for the reason as set out on page 49 of the report. |

09/0713-CE - Proposed annexe building to provide specialist living accommodation for disabled family member - The Granary, High House Farm, School Lane, Alvechurch - Mr. T. D. Hosking Minutes: Consideration was given to the application which had been recommended for refusal by the Head of Planning and Environment Services. On the matter being put to the vote, Members considered that the scheme would not overdevelop the site, nor appear cramped within its context, bearing in mind the setting and juxtaposition of the site within a complex of other conversions and dwellings. Furthermore, Members felt that the design was not seen as harmful or to cause detriment to the character of the area.
RESOLVED that permission be granted subject to any reasonable conditions and notes considered necessary by the Head of Planning and Environment Services, and to include the removal of permitted development rights for any further extensions and alterations. |
